PH Meter

I am just about done hooking up my Calcium reactor. I realize I need to watch the PH coming out. I was thinking of getting a Milwaukee pH600 meter.

Anyone know anything about this one or have one they recommend?

I have always used the American Marine Pinpoint monitors myself. Good product and good customer service.

HTH,
Keith

I'd get a controller if I were you, it should save you trouble in the long run

Hans,

I happen to have a Milwaukee SMS122 pH controller for sale, brand new, never used. I no longer need it as I hooked up an AquaController III. It is missing the probe, but you can get one for $45 or so. I will sell it to you for $40.

Mike

Mike, thanks. But for now, I want to stick with the meter. When I add the Ozone, then I will get the controller that can handle both.

I use the milwaukee controller and it works great. Keeps my reactor at 6.8 and my tank at 8.10 to 8.3
